It is suggested that candidates contact the applicable jurisdiction for specific application information. Each jurisdiction may coordinate its applications for examination differently.
In all jurisdictions obtaining a 4 th class certificate of competency requires successful completion of 2 examinations. The Part A and Part B examinations are each comprised of 150 multiple choice questions.
In most jurisdictions 4 th class examinations are 3.5 hours in length.
Code questions for the 4 th class are provided in both imperial and metric (SI). In most jurisdictions, the candidate is responsible for providing the required code books.
As of January 01, 2006 all code questions will be built to the 2004 ASME code. While older codes may be allowed in the examination all answers will be to the code of the day.
See General Examination Information for what some jurisdictions normally allow to be brought into the examination room by the candidate.
